How far have you gone to buy a bike

Post by JetPilot »

After my trip to Adelaide and the long straight roads with no radio stations and sick of the music I took along.
I got to thinking, how far have you gone to buy and retrieve ya beloved bike.
Previously I have gone to Dubbo, Canberra, just down the road and now Adelaide from Sydney.(round trip 2850km).
Can anyone bet that.....O shit I forgot about Mel and the trip to Perth. ;)
The things we do.... Whats your best??

I went to Melbourne from Geelong to get my Bike without tellin my missus and she said "go to buggery"
Don't know how far buggery is exactly, but it must be a fair way because I had no communication with her for two day's :kuda:

130km from Bendigo to Whittlesea for my Suzuki.
Must be something about that number?
